Breaking: Amber Alert Out for Adrian Jaimes

APD just released an Amber Alert for 5-year-old Adrian Jaimes, who they say was kidnapped around 7:45 this morning from his home on Shropshire Blvd. in Northeast Austin. Jaimes was last seen wearing a green jacket, black t-shirt and blue pants, is about 4 feet tall, weighs about 50 pounds and tends to have a bloody nose because of allergies. He was kidnapped by three Hispanic men in their late teens wearing white hooded sweatshirts and driving a VW Jetta.

This morning as he was getting ready to head out with his mom and sister in the front seat of their Jeep, the teens drove up and one of them grabbed him out of the back seat. APD doesn't think that his family knew his abductors. His mother ran after the car, but wasn't able to stop it or open the doors.

Police ask anyone with information to call their tip line at 477-3588.

This kid was found on North Lamar this morning or last night.

Alive and I guess well. His captors let him go.
